Hello Skitime, have a few question for you. On page two you are talking about how you "recessed the bonding surface" How far did you take the surface down? The thickness of the scoop? How did you get such a straight cut, did you use a router? thnks for your help.

Good question. I did not know how to do that either. I knew it would do a better job if I could. So yes I first tried a wood router. It soon became apparent that all I would do was succeed in burning up the bit. So I looked around at what I had and spied the circular saw. I adjusted the depth platform to about 1/4 inch. It worked great but the dust was unbelievable. I had to hold the blade constantly at the right depth to prevent cutting through. Not the easiest thing to do. I just followed my pencil lines and hand held it. My garage looked like a cement factory exploded after I was done. It took days to clean up the mess. (Note to self-Next time do that outdoors.)

Ski,
As my first post (I'm a big time lurker) I think your car is stunning, I wish mine was like it. I hope this thread goes back to the discussion about the development of your car!! I missed the response about the additional vent/louvers on the Trunk/rear hood. Where did you get something that matches the stock ones so well?

It was mentioned in the thread. I was only going to use them if it looked stock. The only way I knew to do that was to use the stock grills from the GT. It took two sets of grills to get them to be just right. I just cut piece of grills to create it.

Oh and let me be the first to welcome you among the thread posters and thanks for the compliment.

Didn't you also do something with the "Pontiac" in your tailights? I thought I remembered that certain letters would light up at a certain time in sequence.

I TOTALLY AGREE!! He need's to let this come to an end. I want to get back to the build up of one of the top 5 Fiero's on PFF!!! Thank's again for sharing what you have.
I want also to say that I am on noone's side... I was just posting what I had heard of what was going on... I don't need any bad rating's or 'flames' from this as I was just stating my side....

Smooth!!

I didn't know about the PONTIAC light thing either! Can't wait for him to get back!

Like I'm not jealous enough that he has gone skiing!

I will say again.....Nice car, DUMB ASS owner!!!
revin must have been refering this to me as it describes me perfectly.
revin and ski both just got positive ratings from me both by showing their both human. revin gets the positive for realizing that he made a mistake and took the proper steps to try to correct the situation. skitime gets one for not canceling his ski trip and coming to texas and kicking revins a$$!
